In-text citations
In APA style, in-text citations include the author and date. Each source cited in the paper must
appear in the reference list, and each entry in the reference list must be cited in the text. Please do not put references as footnotes.

a) Single author paper:
Example:
Griffin (1996) studied the response of the human body to vibrations. 
Studies on the human response to vibrations usually use the reactions to pure sinusoidal vibrations (Griffin, 1996).

b) Multi-author papers:

Two authors
Example:
Cochrane and Stannard (2005) investigated the effects of chronic exposure to vibration.
Exposure to chronic vibration has been proved to produce adverse effects in drivers of trucks
(Bovenzi & Hulshof, 1999).

Three, four or five authors
Example:
Kisangau, Lyaruu, Horsea and Joseph (2007) concluded [first in-text citation].
Kisangau et al. (2007) suggest [subsequent in-text citation].

Six or more authors
Example:
Gerodimos et al. (2010) investigated the effects of different whole body vibration (WBV) amplitudes and frequencies on flexibility and squat jump performance.
The increase in peak force 8 minutes after WBV exposure was 10.4% (McBride et al., 2010).

c) Two or more sources within the same parentheses:
The citations of two or more works by different authors should be ordered within the same
parentheses alphabetically as they appear in the reference list (including citations that would
otherwise shorten to et al.). Separate the citations with semicolons.
Example:
Several studies investigated the effects of long-term (6 months) WBV exposure on post-menopausal women (Roelants et al., 2004; Russo et al., 2003; Verschueren et al., 2004).
